A sort of complete list of people I will float down the river

After reading Moosekids short list of people worthy of boarding his vessel .I have comprised my own list of people I will float in either of my 2 drift boats ,my Hyde classic high side or my Fishrite aluminum battleship. Neither with "coexist" or Hillary 2016 stickers.
Rather than name names, and exclude people,and be hurtful,I will list qualities I'm looking for in shipmates.

1. All religions are welcome,Christian ,Jewish,Muslims,Buddhists,Hindus, except Satanists because they're creepy and it's hard enough to get the "skunk " out of the boat some days never mind Demons.Atheists are especially welcome since by the time we are ready to take out you will either be ready to be baptized or walk on water to get away from me and my views on God.

2. All sexual orientations are welcome Straight,Gay, Transgender
(Passable or not) especially if they are willing to row. I have no problem with a strong backed tranny in a evening gown rowing my vessel if they are good on the sticks (oars,not other sticks). Please be advised any attempt at any funny business or let's just say "bad touch" and you will be clubbed like a freshly caught bluefish on a partyboat full of drunks on a Saturday night.

3. All political views are welcome,if they are pro American and honor those who gave all for their freedom.needless to say liberals and communists might feel uncomfortable spending the day with me
( even though in a weird way I like Putins Swagger,and who wouldn't want to go fishing with a guy who hunts bare chested on horseback,there's a man who doesn't give a F&$@, you have to admire that in a weird way, and I bet he knows a lot of hot Russian strippers)

4. Fly fishing only will be permitted, no bait,treble hook armed rapalas
,Mepps spinners,jigs etc. The only requirement is that you not be a FlyFishing elitist who only fishes Cane rods and with flies tied by Theodore Gordon himself who constantly complains about all the
"Wannabe , newbies fishing "his " river.On the flip side Hipster millennials will be judged on a case by case basis,There's something
About a clueless ,newly bearded ,flat brimmed trucker hat wearing 20 something with a sling pack who has all the answers that can wear the patience of a 53 year old such as myself,but then again some of them turn out to be ok.

There's my qualification list for worthy shipmates ,again no specific names ,just qualities that I am looking for in anyone looking to spend a day on the river gratis ( that's free) They're will be a lengthy multi page waiver to be signed and notarized in case of drowning,dismemberment or irreversible psychological damage ,just gotta protect the assets nothing personal.

Alright, you got me pretty good here -- this is great. I could tell you were a good guy when you came out of the woodwork to defend the residents of Islamberg.

But just to set the record straight -- that's just a list of active long-time posters, and people i'd made plans to fish with in the past. Some folks have been left off the list for offensive comments they've made either here or on FB. Most have been left off the list because I forgot they existed (this place is a ghost town). I left Mac off the list as a joke -- although we disagree politically, he's never made bigoted comments on here.

I gotta say I’m pretty close on these qualifications. When can I book a trip? I think Moosekid should come with us. You know in the spirit of coming together as a unified NEFF personhood

Glad you got the joke, Just busting balls a little Lol! Had a tough week
and felt like a little levity. The one thing I've learned having traveled in many circles,and having done business with every type of person imaginable is that no race ,religion ,sexual orientation background etc has a monopoly on assholes or good people they exist everywhere. I give people a blank slate and let them fill it in,and we go from there. People pick up on that and respond to you the same if they're decent.
Truth be told ,I envy the amount of time you get to fish,it reminds me when I first got obsessed with fly fishing in the mid 80's and was constantly on the water. As you get older life gets in the way and responsibilities over take your time and fishing gets put on the back burner more than you would like . The 2 boats in my avatar sit right where you see them way more than they ever get used,gotta change that this year.

I was hoping you fit in the parameters Mac,they are fairly inclusive.Charlie Manson , the Uni bomber and Comparadun just missed the cut.lol!
I'm also glad you used the term personhood, any other term would have been hurtful, judgmental ,and possibly misogynistic Which might have
Caused you to be banned .
As far as planning a trip ,definitely will be in the cards when my stupid crazy schedule allows me any free time.Maybe take both boats
And set Golden Beetle up with a couple of ex Navy Seals in the second boat ,that could be interesting once the meaningful conversation started...

DC , did you not read pro American , Atheist, strong backed Tranny Hipster??? I didn’t want to name names and be exclusionary like Moosekid , but please take the hint..Do you want the waiver in PDF or hard copy?
I’ll book you for a two day trip , you’ll be bunking with Beetle, think of the movie “Deliverance “ when they met the nice local Fella’s.....Lol!.

I'm with you 100% of the way. I didn't fish as much as I should have last year, but this year will be different. I finally broke down and bought a reliable car (I used to drive an old bronco -- I spent last summer wrestling with an 87' ranger that literally has an old pinto engine in it). Even if you didn't see that ranger put-putting around Hancock/Roscoe last summer, you definitely heard it....A little 90 horse 4-cyl with headers -- sounds like satan's lawn mower...sets off car alarms...love it to death, but i'm retiring it as a toy.

We should definitely float with Mac. I'm gonna be sure to take pics of the rods he fishes, so I can check them against future posts titled "Sage X 9'6" 5 wt -- Never fished"

I didn't know Dennis well, but he gave me some great advice to fish high on the East Branch one time when the West was a shit show (like it usually gets in late spring). I had the best day I've ever...
